THE MAINE FasEsEsET
Doing Considerable Damage in
Some Places.

ORoNo, Me-, May 1.-The water in
the Penobscot and Saltwater rivers is the
highest within the memory of the
oldest inhabtant. 1t has been rising
steadily all day. One house ON
the bank OF the Saltwater is completely
surrounded with water and the family has
nearly in the same condition. The railroad
track leading to the lumber mills at
Saltwater is in many places from
two to four feet under water
One of the finest mills on the
river owned by E. and j. j.. Webster. is
twelve inches under water. The proprie-
tors and force of men are constantly at
work strengthening all its parts. All the
booms here are safe. No extensive damage
has occurred yet. The river banks have
been lined to-day with people watching tho
the angry waters in their mad flight to sea.
The Judson Briggs boom at Brownville,
Me-, broke on Saturday. letting LOCO. 900
feet Of logs go down the river.
ELLSWORTH, Me-, May 1.-Some booms
and swing dams have been carried away
during the last thirtysiX hours. Stray
logs at the late OF about five an hour
have been carried out into tide
water, but most of them have
been picked up and saved. Yester-
day the Bangor bridge at the head of the
falls started, but was saved. This morning
Brmmer'S bridge was swept OFF, but was
kept from ling down stream. Every river
bridge, except the Maine bridge near the
postotice, is impossible. All bridges have
been ballaSted.

ANTl.PGV SOCIETY.
The Sentiments of Henry George
and DIR. McGlynn.

New YORK, May 1.-The Anti-Poverty
society, of which DR.. McGlynn is president
and Henry George vice president. held it's
first public meeting tonight at Chickering
hall. The hall was packed to overflow ing.
and on the platform were large number
of ladies of the United labor party. The
exercises opened with singing by a chorus
of fifty voices. led by Miss Agnes Munier
Henry George presided, and in his opening
address said:
The presence of such large audience at
the first meeting of the anti-Poverty society
shows that there is widespread feeling in
the community against the social crime Of
poverty. In starting this society
we do not propose to form church.
There are already churches enough
in the community. There is nothing secra-
creeds are welcome. If Archbishop Corrigan
chooses to join he is welcome; and if Rob-
ert Ingersoll desires to become member, he
is welcome also.
Dr. McGlynn said that he always in
tended to remain Catholic and to preach
the Catholic doctrine and would try and
bring back religion to the world.
q Religion will never be right until we shall
see Democratic pope walking down
Broadway with stove pipe hat on
his head and carrying an umbrella
under his arm. In my opinion
that man will be the greatest of popes In
stead OF having men carry him on their
shoulders, he will have the laugh on them,
for he will carry them in his heart
AT the close of the services an anthem was
sung by the choir and audience. The society
proposes to hold meetings every Sunday
night at Chickering hall.

A woMAN,s INFLUENCE.

The man who said that petticoats rule
the world had some knowledge of what he
was talking about. Woman's influence in
the affairs of the world is nowhere more
perceptble than in politics. Her ambition
for social distinction and power makes a
politician of her from the simple fact that
political prominence has great deal to do
with determining social standard. 1t is so
in all the royal courts of Europe as well as
in our own republic. One-half of our
American statesmen owe Their prominence
in public life to the ambition of their wives.
There comes a story from Kentucky in con-
nection with Gen. BUCKNER's gubernatorial
canvass in that state which is All illustration

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

1t will be remembered that j. b. HAIR
RIsoN was in st. Paul last summer. on his
way to visit the Indian reservations in Da-
kota and Montana. Mr.. HARRISON has
recently published book embracing a re-
port of what he saw on his tour, and Civ
ing his opinions and reflections on the
proper treatment and management of the
Indians In the descriptive part of the
book there is nothing materially different
from what other writers have stated. Mr.
HARRISON saw just about what every
other person sees who visits reservation
He evidently had his eyes wide open and
saw everything that was to be seen. and
looked at everything from critical stand
point. After a careful summing up of his
observations Mr.. HARRISON concludes that
on an Indian reservation nearly every
thing depends upon the character. wisdom
and efficiency of the agent. That is a
most wise conclusion. 1t is singu-
lar that it never occurred to STU
dents of the Indian problem before, es-
pecially as most of the wrongs which have
been complained of have resulted from a lack
OF character, the folly. or inetficiency of
the agents. Mr.. HARRISON has never been
an over-ardent civil service reformer. yet
he thinks that if there is any place where
the civil service rules would find az appro-
pirate application it would be in the APP
pointment of Indian agents. He further
more thinks that the government makes a
mistake in beStowing upon the president
the power to open the reservations to set
Element OF to order settlers away from
them. In his opinion the consequences are
too serious to be evoked by what might be
the hasty and ill-adviSed action of one man.
The difficulties at the Crow Creek agency
are cited as confirmatory of this opinion.
About the only suggestion of i'm
portance in Mr.. HARRIsoN's book
relates to the allotment in severalty of
the Indian lands. He thinks the plan is
all right when :he land is suitable for gen
eral farming purposes, but will not work
well when the lands are only good for
grazing purposes. The encouragement of
Indians to raise stock is strongly advised,
but in districts where stock-raising il the
main dependence the partition of lands into
farms is not wise.
